Agony and the Ecstasy (where are you going my beloved Italy)

Where are you going my beloved Italy?
Where are we going too???

I don't Know.



but may be somebody knows.
I want to point out to you two interesting articles publsighed on newsweek.
The first is "Agony and the Ecstasy" (stealed the title :P for my post).
The second is "Farawell, Dolcevita?".

I hope these two pieces of writing can help you to understand more a lot of Italy.

this is a quote from Agony and Ecstasy:

"Yet for all this, many Italians feel that the country still has the potential—the creativity amid the chaos—to make a magnificent comeback if only … what? "I believe a lot of people are asking themselves the same question I ask myself," says Pino Arlacchi, a former member of Parliament and senator, and a leader of the anti-mafia fight in the early 1990s: "Why have we not succeeded in turning the page in this country?"




See you ;)
p.s. let me know what do you think about it.

My last post

Hi guys

This is my last time that I post on this blog because the marriage between TopGun and me is over!
He is too possessive ! no I'm joking he is a great fiend who has led me in the Blog world and hosted my thoughts here.
From now on my window on the blog world will be Switching my mind and I hope whoever you are sometime you take a look at it.
Thank you again, Top!

Sincerely
Puntino

Episode III: Learning a foreign language by Dave's ESL Cafè


By TopGun

In my first Year at University there was a good English teacher.
His name was Roy Boardman.

I liked his way to do.
He often used new media and innovative methods to teach English.
One of these was, obviously, online resources.

He gave us a list of links.
One of these was Dave's ESL Cafe.

Dave's ESL Cafè is "a meeting place for ESL teachers and students".
ESL means English as Second Language if you don't knew this.

It contains a lot of useful links, didactic materials,podcasts,forum links and a good frequented chatroom.
In Dave's ESL Cafè chatroom you can practice English with beginners as you are, and ask for help from ESL teachers.

There is only one thing to do.
Try it and let me know what you think about.



See you Fellows ;)

I thank guusebumps for his corrections.

Why this Blog?

"I opened this Blog,
the English version of Aviatore Sopra Il Mare,

to improve my English writing skills according with my friend Puntino.
Now he has his own Blog but the target remain the same.
Improve my English."
